Bone repair biomaterials
(ISBN 978-1-84569-385-5)
Bone repair is a fundamental part of the rapidly expanding medical care sector and has
benefited from many recent technological developments. This unique book provides a
comprehensive review of the materials science, engineering principles and recent
advances in this important area. The first part reviews the fundamentals of bone repair
and regeneration. Further chapters discuss the science and properties of biomaterials
used for bone repair such as metals and biocomposites. The final chapters analyse
device considerations such as implant lifetime, failure, applications and ethics of bone
repair biomaterials.
Dental biomaterials: Imaging, testing and modelling
(ISBN 978-1-84569-296-4)
Dental biomaterials: Imaging, testing and modelling focuses on the techniques
required to undertake research in dental biomaterials. The text forms an instructive
and practical review of the scientific methods applied to dental biomaterials, with
appropriate case studies. The book includes chapters discussing the practicalities of
working on dental biomaterials, such as reviewing the mechanisms of cutting tooth
tissue and methods for characterizing dental hand piece performance. Chapters review
optical and electron imaging techniques for biomaterial interfaces. Specific materials,
applications and experimental techniques are discussed in addition to chapters
reviewing the development and application of computer models to this complex area.
